it's a bold and arrogant move based on rather shaky evidence
very little can be found about its origin etc, and this macropterous form is probably rather uncommon; i'll keep digging, and you keep keeping an eye on them suckers -- better multiple eyes )))

your bug is very distinctive, and even this grainy image shows some striking features clearly; dying to see more!

anyway, if the thing shown here is what they say it is, then we're in good shape with my ID
